Market Finds

I love painted furniture.  
I love to use furniture as a canvas.....art on a drawer!
No one does it better to me than Guildmasters, and I took a couple of pics at market last week of  a couple of new pieces.  
I'll admit....whimsey is their middle name ( or maybe their first name!), but they inspire me to bring some fun into every space I design.


Do you recognize this pattern?  It's an open stock fabric pattern that a couple of the big fabric houses have picked up.  This is painted on!  I'm using it for inspiration for an armoire at my house.  I'll post pictures when I finally get it finished!


The neutral tones of this piece allow it to fit easily into many different decors.  Wouldn't it be a fabulous dining room buffet?


OK....you got to really look at this one.  It's a painted dart board, and the handles are all "darts" that have been thrown.  They are even at odd angles just like a real dart would be.  The circles are bottle caps!  Real ones!  How fun would this be in a game room!  

I love Guildmaster!  They are represented at the Dallas Market by InDetail and available through retailers and designers ( like me!)

    Have you seen the One of a Kind painted pieces in our store? The craftsmen at the Wind Rose do exquisite work. I like old Italian painted pieces as well.
    Best,
